Learn to read music with a music teacher in Broxbourne

Every melody and chord you hear comes from just 12 different notes.

• Seven natural notes (A through G) create the white keys and serve as reference points.
• The black keys on a piano represent these five in-between pitches with two possible names each.
• Moving up or down by one semitone means shifting to the nearest available pitch.

This 12-note cycle repeats identically whether you move up toward higher pitches or down toward lower ones.

Once you know these 12 notes, you can navigate any piece of sheet music.

The staff is your roadmap: notes placed higher sound higher, and notes placed lower sound lower.

• A treble clef tells you the second line from the bottom represents the note G.
• Lower instruments like cello, bass guitar and trombone read primarily in bass clef.
• Rhythm comes from recognising these shapes and counting their durations.
• Treble lines spell E-G-B-D-F ("Every Good Boy Deserves Fun") while spaces spell F-A-C-E.

Pair your reading practice with playing or singing to connect visual symbols with actual sound.
